    Who Is The Worst Footballer To Play For His Dad …….

    Did find the sight of GS running up and down the touchline shouting at players amusing, especially when they weren't expecting it.

    sisu are not good for our club - well someone's got to say it!

    Quite right, Joy doesn't have to sell up the club is her/her investors property and she can do what she likes with it. There's no obligation to sell up on either side, they're both private companies. As I posted before:

    Why is Ricoh bowl not used?

    According to this http://www.cwn.org.uk/skyblues/2000/12/001215-arena-statement.htm the NEC were involved with the design of the Arena 2000 facilities and one time partners.

    Yes but only under new owners.

    sisu are not good for our club - well someone's got to say it!

    Michael whilst I agree that we need to be back in Coventry now (if not sooner) you have to understand that Sisu have invested £50m (Source: one of the Sisu legal team in court) and they have a right to try and recover that investment. They own almost 100% of OEG and SBSL and they can do what...

    We haven't seen the current books of ACL and the last set of accounts don't cover our having left the Ricoh I believe and include the olympics which appear to have been a mixed blessing. So we don't know how well ACL are currently doing and I'd be interested to know what you've seen of their...

    As I see it and I may be wrong on this the Higgs are reliant on the money old man Higgs left to set up the charity, Mrs PWKH I think confirmed that in her interview in the telegraph. So therefore losing £6.5m which from memory from the last set of accounts was a large chunk of their funds would...

    Will they lose money though? I guess it depends on how well ACL does in the future. If ACL are doing better, really don't need us and can generate enough profit for the Higgs share to be attractive enough even without our club to another investor then they might get their money back...

    So based on those rules they may have felt at the time that the £5.5m offer (£1.5m upfront and £4m later) was reasonable but didn't trust that they'd see the remaining £4m over 10years from Sisu. The £2.5 then offered was possibly way too low and later on if ACL started to do better maybe they...

    The Charity Commission rules (if I've read them correctly) say that basically if you invest you cannot use Charity funds in a way that would "erode the capital of the fund" and that generally trustees should look to get maximum return on that investment...

    Yeah I thought you might have been given only a selection of the finished article. If I had been at the club and selecting it I would have included different bits.

    What a great day for my phone to throw a wobbly and stop working. Well done to Elvis and the squad and best of luck for 3 points against The Blades.

    I hope not - there may only be me and possibly RFC who believe in the new stadium but we may never come back to Coventry under Sisu without it.

    BBC live text may as well be dead updating every 5-6mins.

    The entire thing comes across better than the excerpt in the telegraph (no offence Simon). The trouble is it's a bit late in the day for this.

    Hopefully we'll come out fighting and knock a few more in than them. 2-1 to us. PUSB

    Joy's Programme Message - Preview

    So hurry up and build it already, give us a sign that you're serious. We're obviously not going back to the Ricoh so we need to get on with this. We don't want the exclusivity period on these sites to run out. That would be the Academy the board considered during your custodianship of CCFC...
